[I Love Nigeria]

It is probably safe to say that Nigeria, nay, Africa is still traditional old world society.

A society where the majority of women still defer to men wrongly or rightly, on a majority of issues; that being the state of affairs, men are able to prevail on a wife or girlfriend not to wear very revealing or sexually provocative clothes. I take it therefore, that it is safe to assume that Nigerian men can also prevail on the daughter, wife or girlfriend not to bleach skin, or wear false hairs from Hong Kong which ridicules and caricatures their appearance

Nigerian, nay, African men can have an impact on bleaching and false hairs, if Nigerian, African men were truly opposed to these phenomena. Same way we might discuss trade in narcotics, the users of narcotics and the sellers (demand and supply of narcotics so to speak)

We probably should examine this as societal/community affliction, as opposed to gender against gender issue. There is a supply and demand at play here. I will not date a smoker, I will not date a bleached lady, I will not date false haired lady…. Could I date a smoker and complain about smokers?

The issues for debates here are not an attempt to bash women, no! It is more about the universal mindsets and or damaged psyche of continental Africans and peoples of African descent who are engaged in these self-degradations and self-reductions.

Are continental Africans and peoples of African descent so beaten and barraged, to the extent they now act to fit-into the “standard”

Are we so beaten that we now act without contemplations and deliberations in sundry matters, including matters such skin bleaching and false hairs?

Are we so beaten down and out, to the extent that we do not see the obvious implications of looking like a poor imitation of other races?

Bleaching and wearing false hairs have consequences of huge expenses, diseases and scorns.

Why do we bleach and wear false hairs? Still? –Paul Adujie
